With temperatures above 110 degrees expected to run through most of next week, this heat wave is expected to be longer and more severe than last year's, when four people died from heat-related issues in a single day.
The upcoming heat wave is also expected to tie a 1994 record for most consecutive days of temperatures greater than or equal to 110 degrees.
Because heat affects the body in a cumulative fashion, with each day adding more stress to the body and increasing the likelihood of heat-related illnesses, those who work outdoors, exercise in it or don't have air conditioning are likely to be significantly impacted by the heat wave.
Save that Father's Day hike for another day, make sure to limit outdoor activity throughout the week and stay hydrated!
